Hello Christian
Have you ever heard that the meaning of the name Hocquard is
"He who wears the capuchin's hood" ?
The capuchins were a very strict branch of the Franciscans who lived lives of total poverty, chastity and abstinence.Some of them must have given up on the chastity or none of us would have carried the name today!!There are lots in the US and a fair number in Canada. A Jean Hocquard emigrated to the Gaspe ca. 1845 from St Brelade's parish , Jersey and he had 6 sons.Their descendants have spread out over the continent. There were 3 listed in the local telephone book here in Nova Scotia last year but only one this year. I do not know of any in the UK apart from my sister( she uses her married name) and I have done a check of the telephone listings in many of the major centres in England. There are about 8 or 9 listed in the Jersey telephone directory last time I looked.There may be some Hocarts in Guernsey.Strange that they always used that spelling rather than the longer one right back in 16th century.
Do you know how far back the name goes in the Lorraine?It would be interesting to find out.
Elizabeth
